Good riddance; you lack the integrity to protect Bagbin – Ablakwa to Army

Member of Parliament for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has expressed worry integrity of the Military under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

He believes that if the Military which is expected to be circumspect and meticulous in its dealings can say “proper procedure” was not used in selecting personnel to be attached to the Speaker’s Security, then there is a great challenge.

“If it takes a whole year for Ghana’s military high command to discover that their personnel have been deployed without “proper procedure” to the Speaker’s office, what does that say about the state of security and integrity of leadership under Commander-in-Chief Akufo-Addo?”

To him, the Speaker of Parliament is better off without protection from a Military that has lost its integrity and is not meticulous about its dealings.

His post on the issue read “If it takes a whole year for Ghana’s military high command to discover that their personnel have been deployed without “proper procedure” to the Speaker’s office, what does that say about the state of security and integrity of leadership under Commander-in-Chief Akufo-Addo? Is the Rt. Hon. Speaker not better off without this kind of protection?Ultimately, the best form of protection can only be guaranteed by the people we serve and the Lord Almighty”.
